I'm going to sprint home from school, because my mother is supposed to get it when the bookstore opens, at about 10 tomorrow. With homework, and depending on the length of the book, I think I'll finish late Tuesday, or some time on Wednesday.

I still have a few other books I want to read first, so I can wait.

I hope to get it first thing in the morning, between eight and ten A.M tomorrow, if there is no school (very likely, since the teachers in my province have been on strike for over a week.) If there is school, my mum is picking it up for me and I'll get it right after school.

As soon as I can find it. This town has no proper bookstore, and I don't have a car right now. Besides, I have midterm exams ths week, so even if I had it, it probably wouldn't get read, unless I wanted to flunk biology, and thats my major, so......

The unicorn lived in a lilac wood, and she lived all alone.
She was very old, though she did not know it, and she was no longer the careless color of sea foam, but rather the color of snow falling on a moonlit night. But her eyes were still clear and unwearied, and she still moved like a shadow on the sea.
--The Last Unicorn, Chapter One, Peter S. Beagle

I should have it by this time tomorrow, though.

a said:

I convinced Mother to buy it for me tommorrow while I'm at school.

I did that too.

So, Tuesday, the day it comes out. I will come home and read it. But, to let the excitement last longer, I will try not to read it all when I first get it.

EDIT: How could I have misspelled "too", up there?
But I fixed it.

I'm only getting it on Saturday. I was anticipating buying it the day it came out, but I'm going to meet Snicket at a book-signing thing where the ticket price includes a copy of Book the Twelfth. My mom refuses to let me buy it on Tuesday, since I'm going to be getting in on Saturday. Evidently it's a crime to possess two copies of the same book. >:(

But I get to meet Snicket, so I'm not too upset.
